"For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God."(3:3)
Our lives were hidden before the worlds were framed in the divine Will. We did not appear by our own but 'of the will of the flesh,' Flesh and blood shall not inherit the worlds which were framed by the word of God which is a Spirit. So Jesus coming from his Father and who is the heir of all made his Will manifest. Accordingly we are to be born again. "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God./That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit./Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again." ( John 1:13; 3:5-7; He.11:3)
Baptism by water is death, in that symbolically you die to the world of sin and to the hold of flesh and blood. Appetites of carnality when pursued leads to death and condemnation. By the same token when we received Jesus Christ we received all the blessing of God in his Son. Thus the baptism of the Spirit is to work at tandem with death of the Son who died once for all mankind. He dies no more. So we are living in him,-in spiritual terms hidden and in heavenly places. Crypto genesis explains it. This is what the key verse instructs us. Recently we came across a clear example of cryptobiosis or hidden lives. Here is the quote from PLOS, "Recently, nematode individuals have been reanimated from Siberian permafrost after remaining in cryptobiosis. Preliminary analysis indicates that these nematodes belong to the generaPanagrolaimusandPlectus. Here, we present precise radiocarbon dating indicating that thePanagrolaimusindividuals have remained in cryptobiosis since the late Pleistocene (46,000 years"
"When Christ,who isour life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory."(Col.3:4)
What is the pedigree God desires when He said "Thou art my Son. This day have I begotten thee?" (Ps.2:7)
A clue to His will can be found in his creation account. "And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth." Pedigree of a fruit tree yields after his kind." It is the law or decree that God established before he created man in 'our image.'
It is for this reason the Spirit writes about 'the generations of the heavens and of the earth' right after the creation account. (Ge.2:4) it is the pedigree of children of the light and of the darkness 'It concerns the genealogy of the Holy Family beginning with Seth. It was the divine Will Seth stepped into the breach made by Cain.
"And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth.(Ge.5:3)" After Seth he had sons and daughters which are not part of the pedigree the Spirit assembles. Compare this with that of Enoch," And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah/ And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters (Ge.5:21-22)"
Adam is the son of God. ( Luke 3:38)
Adam lived 130 years (100+30) before he begat Seth who is the double Jesus Christ, whose ministry began when he was thirty. (Three is the tag for the Son of God)
In the case of Enoch he lived 65 years (13x5) and after Methuselah he had many sons and daughters as Adam had. Significant point is that he walked with God. To indicate it the Spirit gives us this verse:" And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years.(v.23)
3x100 explains it all beyond any doubt.
Responding with worldly wisdom in response to spiritual wisdom is the epitome of folly. I apologize if I have offended you.
I believe that would make anything other than the original a counterfeit.
My apologies if I have offended anyone with infallible truth.

There are many different subjects discussed here, some are more important than others.
This one is very, very important!
If you believe the KJB is just another translation then I challenge you to take a small amount of your time and find (Truth is Christ) on youtube and watch the video named, The 1611th Mention of LORD (And Why Its A Really Big Deal)
There have been many on this site who have said the KJB is a good translation, but its just another translation.
If you believe that then you are in error, and this is a major subject to hold in error. Especially since we are living the Lastdays NOW!
If you find that video and watch it, you will see how God is the author of the KJB!
If you believe the KJB is just another translation and you don't take the time and find this video and watch it, Then it would seem by that action that you are not seeking His Truth as much as you may think you are.
Truth is much more important than pride.
God Bless those who do seek His Truth!
(Truth is Christ) on youtube and watch this video (The 1611th Mention of LORD (And Why Its A Really Big Deal)
It would be interesting to hear some of your thoughts about this video. I think it is truly Amazing!
Greetings in Christ JESUS
See. Dan, like the SDA sect, interprets it literally differently from you. Actually, they interpret that just like the Pharisees, and Scribes, and Priests, our Lord JESUS also kept the Law of the 10 commandments that GOD gave to Moses and his body-the people of Israel- to keep them.
Paul the Apostle, a former Pharisee extremist, knew very well to distinguish the difference between what GOD gave to Moses and to JESUS, what was given to Moses was the dead letter of the Law, and Israel was as always a simply sinful nation, but what was given to JESUS is the Spirit of the Law, the only one capable of giving life to the disciples of Him, JESUS really FULFILLED the Law. GOD is Spirit.
By the way, the body without the Spirit is dead ( James 2:26), the dead do not praise the Lord ( Psalm 119:17), so the keepers (Jews or Gentiles) of the dead letter of the Law of Moses that lasted until John the Baptist as JESUS warned, they all are dead, and they do not praise the Lord at all, they do not believe in the revelation and determination of JESUS that the dead letter of the Law given to Moses lasted only and only until John the Baptist. period
The heavens(the 1st and 2nd heavens, i.e. the Dispensations of the Old and New Testaments(the 3rd heaven shall be still established- Luke 20:35-36, among other biblical references) and the earth(the current rebel Israel), which are now, by the same Word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against this Day of Judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
Romans 2:12&14
12 For as many as have sinned without Law(the Gentiles) shall also PERISH without Law: and as many as have sinned in the Law(the Jews) shall be JUDGED by the Law;
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the Law, do by nature the things contained in the Law, these, having not the Law, are a Law unto themselves:
13 (For not the hearers of the Law are just before GOD, but the doers of the Law shall be justified.

Also spelt as cab: a dry measure which is mentioned in this verse, "And the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver".(2 Ki.6:25). It is similar as jot or tittle, to indicate insignificance however has their place in context of the whole. Owing to man's fallen state even qabh (or kab) is overvalued. In such times of distress the Prodigal son must content with husks ('And no man gave unto him.'). War brings famine, death hunger and plague in its wake. Ways of the world allow life of indulgence and also bring affluenza. Come crisis, man is left to feed himself.
The context here is the famine in Samaria. Because of wickedness in high places the prophet of God requires a hiding place to which ravens bring food.(1 Ki.17:4). By the same token God is longsuffering who lets sinner survive, so shall he find kab for a price no matter where. Fourth part of it signifies it. (See under N-numbers, command)
Place of fragrance, a fenced city in the midst of a vast grove of palm trees, in the plain of Jordan, over against the place where that river was crossed by the Israelites opposite of Jericho. (Josh.3:16) Cities of the plains ('kikkar') have same characteristic and it is to which Prophet Isaiah refers,- and the question concerns God's judgment on godless nations. The cities of the plains form a circle as in this verse: "And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where," (Ge.13:10) These are Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim and Zoar. Apart from the significance of five (See under N-numbers command /Jubilee) this circle is enclosed as Jericho was a fenced city. Joshua and his men circling the city seven times signifies God's judgment as fell on Sodom and Gomorrah would fall on her.
So Isaiah asks, "Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?/It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:/That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.." (Is.40:21-23). (See entry below: Jerusalem)
"In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun." (1 Ki.16:34)
Was reading up on this "breakthrough development using stem cells to create a human embryo, yet since it was not from a fertilized egg they are not calling it a human life technically, so they use this as an excuse for calling this technology "ethical".
Science and medicine really took a leap into what is really God's realm, that of conception of human beings, "fertility treatments" that manipulate bodies and hormones, fertilizing in vitro, cloning, as well as the various ways we try to we try to eliminate life before birth or even conception. This tampering with the very nature of the creation of life to control it is not from God. But we have fallen far down the slippery slope. Reproductive research and health services are playing at being god in this area of our society. I wish we could turn back the time to before ideas like Eugenics and Genetic engineering began. But alas, I think we have gone over the brink. It was only a matter of time.
Genesis 11:6 says "And the Lord said, "Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language, and this they begin to do (Towe of Babel); and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do."
In our day, language is not a barrier in Science anymore. We have come again to the "Babel" of our time, when mankind can think together and accomplish whatever they imagine to do.
There will be a judgment for this, just like the flood of Noah's day, and the scattering of the people from Babel. This time, it most likely will be the judgment promised at the end of the age. The upside is, Christ will return and destroy all who oppose Him and redeem all who believe to the fullest. Praise be to God.
